Los Angeles, CA (January 14, 2008) - Josh Ritter will be featured in an episode of “Live from the Artists Den,” the innovative new weekly music series on Ovation TV featuring acclaimed artists performing in extraordinary settings, Thursday, January 31 (8-9 p.m. ET/PT). The “Live from the Artists Den” series is presented by Ovation TV (www.OvationTV.com) and Grey Goose Entertainment (www.GreyGooseEntertainment.com).

The episode featuring Josh Ritter was filmed at a private Artists Den concert October 26, 2007 at the Natural History Museum of LA County in downtown Los Angeles. Against a backdrop of rolling green hills and grazing bison, the performance might have taken place in Ritter’s native Idaho rather than the North American Mammal Hall of the museum. Hundreds of die-hard fans joined grizzly bears and wolves in the diorama-filled hall as Ritter delivered a full-on rock concert – complete with a 5-piece horn section – that kept the room dancing all night. The scenic venue was selected in conjunction with Ritter himself, in the spirit of his major label debut, The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter (Sony BMG/Victor), which was declared by Amazon.com to be “the best album of 2007, hands down.”

Other artists and venues featured in the first season of “Live From The Artists Den” on Ovation TV include Crowded House at the Masonic Hall Grand Lodge in New York; Ben Harper on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee at the 2007 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival; Fountains of Wayne on a 100-year-old ship at New York’s South Street Seaport; The Swell Season (from the Fox Searchlight film Once) at the Good Shepherd Center Chapel in Seattle; Patty Griffin at the Angel Orensanz Foundation For the Arts on New York’s Lower East Side; and KT Tunstall at the Prince George Ballroom in Manhattan.

The Artists Den (www.theartistsden.com)has been presenting emerging and
established musicians in unique settings around the world since its inception in 2004.
The venture began as one music lover's vision of staging great live music in non-
traditional settings. Initially a series of intimate living room concerts, the Artists Den has expanded to include concerts across North America and Europe by some of today's most significant names in popular music, in venues as varied as Christie’s auction house in London, an abandoned warehouse in San Francisco, a private Southampton beach house and the diamond floor of Tiffany’s on Fifth Avenue.
